Bus lane

I turn into a bus lane right at the point where the sign says end of bus lane, and I can see it in the video and pictures, but still got a fine.

What is the best way to appeal it please?

    It is right on the point where the sign says end of bus lane.

    Right on the point where the sign says end of bus lane, not before.

    It’s a matter of opinion, I have appealed it

    How is it a matter of opinion? Either you drove in the bus lane or you didn't. (Unless the markings/singage weren't clear. Then it's not a matter of opinon, but a matter of poor markings/signage)

    If you didn't, appeal it and you're sure to win.

    If you did, appeal it and suspect you'll lose.

    post streetmap location which will show the sign and how far the solid white line goes beyond it.

    No, it's a matter of FACT. Your car was either in the bus lane (whether partially or fully) or it wasn't.

    Simply - did you go by the position of the sign, where you could see the sign, or where the solid line ended?

    Did your car cross the solid white line?
    Does the photo/video SHOW it crossing the solid white line?
